The third is standing, holding his hands together at the groin.

On the weekend of our 25th Anniversary (and 10 years after the inauguration of GWL’s pioneering women’s history walks) we launch a new walk looking at women who made history in the Gorbals: women carving their impression on Art to Industry, Politics to Immigration.
